Should I Buy – bit of a boring but sweet new character that will really help you get move quicker through the second week of the event. But I think she’s one of these buys that is down to whether you find the character endearing or not, she’s not an impulse buy. So if the character makes you smile, then bring her to your town, if she doesn’t wait to see what comes later. But remember Week 2 can be when events get tough, so if you’re struggling she may be a big help.

Jill Frost (Character): Top prize in the A Very Frozen Mystery Box that costs 145 Clams per try, can shop at Ball Sporting Goods

Should I Buy – Great new character, shakes she’s in a mystery box, but the materials that are in the mystery box are non repeatable so might tempt you take a try. I’ll put full details in the mystery box section later on in this post, but for your information I was lucky and won her on my 2nd try.

Sloshy The Snowman (Character): You’ll be directed to place him for unlocking at Pt 2 of the main Questline O Christmas Spree. Can shop at Balls Sporting Goods, character itself is NOT timed but there is a 40 Clam Reward if yo can unlock him within 7 days of repairing him.Requires56 Pipes (Always): Complete tasks in Mrs Claus Wishlist55 Coal (Always): Complete tasks on Mrs Claus Wishlist28 Tequila Bottles (Common): Jerome Restock The Bar28 Lime (Uncommon): Shop at Balls Sporting Goods, North Pole Mini Golf24 Top Hat (Uncommon): Mort Dress Up, Yiddish Candles

***The Buildings for Week 2 can be found in the The Quahog Shopping Centre – you’ll find full details in that section below***

DECORATIONS

Cranberry Margarita Stand – 120 Drops 2x Eggnog every 10 hours.

Should I buy – Just like last weeks Eggnog Stand I’d have said snap it up at 50 clams but at a 120 I’d think very carefully. If you’ve bought Mrs Claus you likely won’t need this, as he’ll get you extra Margarita. This is a tiny 2×2 decoration that is only a must buy if you’ve no time to dedicate to playing but plenty money to spend.

EVENT CURRENCY

Presents (Always) – Get from the Oh Christmas Tree, the A Very Frozen Mystery Box

** Obviously the star prize is Jill Frost, and it took me 2 attempts to win her. My results were as follows:

5 Basketballs Jill Frost

Total spend to win Jill Frost: 290 Clams

Should I try: It’s a lot of clams on a game of chance, sure TinyCo have listened and removed the repeatable materials, but materials still make up the majority of prizes, and are they worth 145 Clams? Not in my mind they aren’t. But the odds recently do seem to be a bit higher of winning the star prize, so although the Mystery Boxes are still overpriced in my opinion, you do have a better chance of a good outcome.

EVENT AREA

There are 6 places of interest here, and 2 of them are new. These are marked

1: Balls Sporting Goods

2: Quahog Shopping Centre

3: As Seen On Tubes Store

4: Oh Christmas Tree

5: Blitzen’s Bar

6: Sloshy The Snowman

1: BALLS SPORTING GOODS

This is where a new store where you send you characters Christmas shopping. It’s quite simple like last weeks store, you just tap on the building and you’ll see the shopping screen.

But remember like last week you can’t shop until you’ve collected the necessary materials, in this store it’s 2 Cranberry Margaritas. Once you have two tap Shop to bring up the Character selection screen. But notice to the left of the image above that the store isn’t always available, it also closes for 4 hours periods. So you can only send characters shopping when the “OPEN” sign is showing. If the Shop is open you’ll be able to select characters to go shopping.

Simply tap on SELECT to choose the Character or Characters you wish to send then like last week simply tap SHOP.

The centre piece of the Christmas event and the all important source of the event currency, Presents. Now as you know at first the tree looked rather sad and the but it’s been taking shape as we’ve been upgrading the tree, and this continues this week as we try to get our tree to Level 8.

So click on your Christmas Tree and you’ll see its current level, its current payout rates, and of course the cost and rewards if you upgrade it to the next level. And here’s what I know so far.

Red Ornament (Uncommon): Get from clearing Infomercial Salesmen, A Very Frozen Mystery Box

Football (Uncommon): Get from clearing Balls Salesperson, A Very Frozen Mystery Box

5 BLITZEN’s BAR

This is where you store all those Presents you’ve collected before you spend them wisely. You can see you current storage either on your Present counter icon at the top of your screen or by tapping on Blitzen’s Bar.

Now in Week 1 we started upgrading Blitzen’s Bar to Level 5, well that upgrading continues, and like your Christmas tree Level 8 is the new goal.

But to put it simply, the Blitzen’s Bar currently can now be upgraded to Level 10 and here’s what it will cost and more importantly what you’ll increase your storage to at each level.

Spawn: A few times a day up to a MAX of 8 at a time on your game play screen

MRS CLAUS’ WISHLIST

This is the Week 2 “CHECK LIST” of items you will unlock, tasks you will perform, or things you will need to do to help earn Charity Buckets and all sorts of other items for the Event. There’s also a Clam reward achievement linked to unlocking Sloshy The Snowman within 7 days.

You can get to the current Achievements Check List Screen by tapping on the Wishlist Icon in the lower right corner of the game screen. You can move between Santa’s and Mrs Claus’ Wishlist using the arrow at the top of the Wishlist screen.

Once you complete an Achievement, just tap on “CLAIM” button next to it to gain your reward. Be vigilant on collecting rewards in order you trigger the subsequent task.

To go quickly to location of Achievement you need to complete, tap on the “GO” icon next to it.

Here is the list of what I currently see in my game for this Weeks Santa’s Wishlist (as you clear one or progress through Main Questline, another will appear)…

Get Sloshed

Oh Christmas Tree

Getting Blitzed

Supper Shopper

Looking For Help

Show Me Your Balls

Not sure where to post this question, but has anyone else had problems with the game freezing and crashing? I have not been able to progress with week 2 due to this constant problem. I’ve already uninstalled twice. Any suggestions?

Oh wow… I literally JUST found out that you can send more than one character at a time to the shop. I’ve always been sending one. It doesn’t seem to have slowed me down much, as Week 1 was easy peasy and I only unlocked Lois yesterday

It’d be great if they had something in addition to reindeer to buy with extra presents. Until we can upgrade the bar to make it to a higher level of building purchase there are so many wasted presents. I’m going to have scores of reindeer in my herd by the end of this.

Gameplay seems bottlenecked. Need to enlarge Blitzen’s to have enough room to buy a Kissing Booth. Need 4 Basketballs. They require 2 cocktails each. Peter takes 4 hours for each. So 4 x 2 x 4 = 32. Your help can come from Caroler Lois, but her Cloaks come from the same place as the Basketballs. (She needs 8) And future items each cost more.

Am thinking of buying herds of Reindeer since the tree is capped. Is it safe to buy the Rabid one? I mean, I have time to refill everything, right? Seems wasteful to let it all sit there.

My biggest problem is trying to get more than one shopping session in before the store closes, I feel like there are enough steps that this is an unnecessary buffer given what it takes to get to the store.

I agree with this. Seems like the store is closed more than it is open. I’m sure this is done purposely, but still annoying. Makes collecting items for upgrades more difficult.
I can upgrade the tree pretty easily, it’s the other one that takes forever. Other than this I am enjoying this event!

Hi,
I can’t see yet almost anything from second week of the event. I don’t know if it wasn’t updated or what. Only thing that changed this week was the chance to get the mistery box, idk why… I already got the Bad santa character.
